Approved 9-0 by Hyattsville City Council on March 24, 2025.
The Hyattsville City Council approved a master services agreement with Flock on March 24, 2025, filed as HCC-280-FY25. Council President Joseph Solomon moved the item and Councilmember Kareem Redmond seconded it. The roll call holds 9 votes in favor and none against, with Councilmember Edouard Haba absent. Mayor Robert Croslin is recorded voting in favor, as is Council Vice-President Joanne Waszczak. The Legistar file carries no dollar figure, no camera count, no term length and no attachment, so no amount or camera count is given. Hyattsville had passed a citywide Rekor fixed license plate recognition item in March 2022 and took up a Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention grant appropriation for a license plate reader program with the City of Mount Rainier in November 2024, so the Flock agreement arrived on top of earlier plate reader work. Maryland Bay News reported the city runs 24 cameras, a figure no city document confirms, so no camera count is given. Nothing in the readable record sets a retention period, a sharing policy, an audit requirement or a reporting duty.
